DreamtechInteractive is about to release its newest game, Phrase Madness. I plan to release it just in time for the holidays, by the end of November. In this phrase matching game, you match the beginnings of up to 26 phrases with their endings. So far, there are over 320 phrases, giving you well over 10000 possible phrase combos. Currently, users of Windows Mobile products, such as cellphones and Pac Mates, can record their names, add new phrases, and, best of all, comment on funny phrase matches. I'm working on getting the ability for PC's as well, but so far only wm products can record. Here's an example, you're playing a game. You press the letter capital A. The beginning of the phrase, "it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood," is heard, minus the word neighborhood since that's the phrase's ending. Then, you hit the little a and hear the ending of another phrase, the word "fire." ... It's a beautiful day in the fire? Well, that's worthy of a comment, so you push the record comments button and say something funny, and the next time you get that combo, you hear the comment you made earlier. I have, so far, recorded about 700 comments, but there are so many combinations that you're likely to only hear one or two per game. The number of combos gives Phrase Madness a virtually infinite playability value--I've been playing for over a year and still have not heard all the funny combinations. The other day, I found "mothers against drunk...pigs," and "mothers against drunk...monkeys." My children love this game very much, and since it is played by children as well as adults I will be asking that players behave themselves in the making of comments, but the game will not be censored. I say this because, with the help of Louis Bryant of www.Braillesoft.net I'm going to implement server connectivity, so that all comments recorded by each player are uploaded to the server, then downloaded by every player, so that you'll be able to hear comments on funny combos from people all over the world. That feature is still in development however, and is the main reason I have yet to release the game. The wm version will sell for $15, and the desktop will sell for $10 unless I can find out how to get Basic4PPC to record using regular Windows computers.
I am also working hard to get Space Attack up and running, but it's been harder to get through all the bugs. I would like to release it by November's end as well, but I can make no promises. As for my bubble breaker game, which is no longer a clone of anything, the game itself is fully playable, but I'm waiting to release it until I find someone to do better graphics for it.
